    morning all!

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
    E.B.Browniing

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
    I love thee to the level of everyday's
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with a passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.






    who knows what suprises are in store in life? ....... it would seem Mrs Browning was unaware for a good few years ....

    Just don't expect me to tell you when you guess right!

    Some things have to be kept secret.

    ...what an amazing story. It is a bit like some kind of fairy or folktale, poor talented young woman with heart of gold and stern, cold father has life of tragedy but eventually finds true, everlasting love. I didn't know anything about her before today. I do love this thread, it is so educational as well as a great place to be! Cheers Freckle.

    Glad you liked Kinder

    Here is another I wrote, I was inspired by memorials high in the mountains, the continuity of life and that people have such a spiritual connection with mountains that they choose to have their ashes spread there.

    The spreading of Ashes

    Into the wind this dust will blow
    to settle in storm gathered pools of water
    that dwell behind rocks and grasses
    and darken the fleece of lambs due for slaughter

    And with that wind a soul will follow
    to glide and look down on mountain peaks
    and catch the wing of a passing swallow
    living forever in the song from their beaks.
